Have you ever bought a piece of gear (or at least been noticeably influenced to) due to its name? Be honest. Now I realize the gear had to be at least decent or you wouldn't lay money down for it, but something has to get your attention.
Or, have you decided not to even look into a piece of gear because it had a completely stupid (or offensive/NSFW) name?
Come on, guys, don't be shy. I know this is totally subjective and a personal decision, so no judging from me. I just thought it would be fun to list them all here. I'll go first:
Gear I've looked into just because of the cool name (and bought most of them
Pedal - The Improbability Drive by Lumpy
Pedal - Philosopher's Tone by Pigtronix
Pedal - Dark Matter by TC Electronics
Amp - Event Horizon by Painting With Electrons
Gear with stupid/moronic names I never bothered to check out:
Pedal - Fudgepacker Fuzz (there's just no good way to spin that name)
Pedal - EHX Holy Stain
Pedal - Super Hard On by Zvex
Pedal - MOJOmojo by TC Electronics (I kinda hate the term mojo at this point)
Amp - Randall Satan (come on, are they trolling for rebellious teenagers?)
Guitar - Wangcaster (I saw the picture and wish I hadn't)
And pretty much every EMMA pedal out there
